So I broke down and bought a Canon EOS 40D. I’m really pleased with it so far, and I’ll tell you why. I don’t have a CF card for it yet, so I’m not yet pleased with the photo quality. No, I’m pleased because I bought it from Amazon yesterday at 3:30pm and with one-day shipping using Amazon Prime, it showed up at my office at 9:30am this morning. That is what I call service, and it wasn’t smashed to shit like the two french presses I ordered.

Yeah, so even though I thought I was going into cardiac arrest (heavy weight in my chest, shortness of breath, etc.) at work yesterday, I’m completely healthy. My boss drove me to the ER at Good Samaritan around 2:30pm yesterday. Note: if you go to the ER, mention chest pain…you’ll get pulled in ahead of the gunshot and stabbing victims.
Two EKGs, an echocardiogram, 2 bags of sodium chloride in an IV drip, 2 horsepills of potassium, a full blood panel, chest xray and a whole lot of oxygen later and they deem me to be in completely perfect health. Go figure. They don’t know what it was exactly, but they ruled out anything cardiac. Possible causes are stress, indigestion (oh god, please don’t have let me go to the hospital for heart burn…totally weak sauce), or stress…they really think it’s stress.
So yeah, if anyone was worried, I’m ok. Totally and completely.
Ok, since this is the first real, non-test post I’m doing here, I thought I’d offer up a little information on what this is and why it’s here.
For the longest time, I’ve been using www.breakofdawn.org as my main identity on the web. I’ve had the email address there for years with no real consequences good or bad. I’ve just kind of existed. Everything I did was hosted there from my personal mixes to my resume and portfolio. I never separated work and personal. Every project was lumped into Break of Dawn. I’ve used it to manage a group of DJs, do freelance print and web design (often all in the same time period)…essentially it branded me as a whole.
